I had reconstruction surgery in November. My PS said I could exercise, but says he wants me to let my pectoral muscles atrophy and not work them-ever. No running/jumping unless I get an extremely supportive bra that does not mash me. Even then he wants that to be minimal. I don't like the way the muscles feel/look when they move. It freaks people out too. I was extremely active before. Do I really have to let my pecs atrophy and not do jumping jacks, running, etc? This eliminates so much!

Since we are not your treating surgeons very hard to go against the treating surgeon's advise. We DO NOT know your medical surgical history and therefore are not in a position to advise on muscle atrophy and exercises.
